IN THE VERY MIDDLE YOU’RE A LOT LIKE ME

A SHINING PERSONALITY

THE CLOTHES AND THE SKIN

ARE JUST A COVERING

IN THE VERY MIDDLE YOU’RE A LOT LIKE ME

 

God made souls, one two three

Loved ‘em all equally

Souls need homes like bodies do

One got me and one got you, and   (CHORUS)

 

Some got castles, some got shacks

Some got dresses, some got slacks

Some got white, some got black

But the most important fact is   (CHORUS)

 

Royal blue, army green

Rhinestone cowboy, disco queen

Hula skirts, denim jeans

Not so different as it seems, ‘cause   (CHORUS)

 

It helps me not to be afraid

Knowing we’re so much the same

The road we take leads to the stars

We’re just driving different cars, and   (CHORUS)
